Industry Trends

Growth in Super-Premium Category

Consumers are increasingly "trading up," choosing high-end, expensive liquors over value and premium brands. The super-premium category has enjoyed double-digit gains over the past five years, largely due to increased interest in expensive vodkas, single malt whiskeys, and small batch bourbons. While a significant portion of this growth benefits global distilleries and the import market, a number of US distillers have benefited from growth in their super-premium and high-end products.
